Half Day Cycling Tour

Atlantic Fisheries Bike Tour

This half day cycling tour combines a riding tour of our community with an informative look at our local fisheries. From lobster to cod, mussels to oysters, fishing techniques and gear are explained as we cycle along beaches and quaint fishing harbours. The tour will take breaks to check out the different types of lobster and crab traps and learn about how they work.

There maybe the opportunity to watch the local fleet unload their catch. The tour stops at the St Paul Island Lighthouse and Museum, where we climb the stairs of the oldest cast iron lighthouse in Canada and ends at our favourite oyster market. This is a great ride for families, we spend only a limited amount of time on the Cabot Trail, riding trails and secondary roads.

Bike the Best: Rental with one way Shuttle

Bike the Best: East Coast Riding

The eastern edge of the Cabot Trail travels directly along the rugged granite coastline of park. The ocean spray, dramatic waves, and pink granite rocks will sit at your shoulder as you cycling back. This stretch of the road offers a reasonable shoulder for cycling along, and a gentle set of rolling hills. It is considered some of the nicest biking in the park. There are multiple National Park interpretive sites and hikes along the ride, allowing you take advantage of all the park has to offer.

Let Cabot Trail Adventures help you bike the best of the Cabot Trail with our shuttled-yet-self-guided bike/hike on the western side of Cape Breton Highlands National Park. This tour combines a morning bike shuttle with a two hour self guided hike (optional) and then iconic cycle across the top of highlands and down into Pleasant Bay.

You begin the ride at the top of the French Mountain, and ride along the mountain top.

The length of the bike ride can be varied. Our bike racks fit most rental cars.
